Mexico and AudraIn County,

Mexico and Audrain county seem
on the verge of a mighty boom. The
Mexico papers show that unmistaka-
bly, that city is in the midst of the
boom now. The LEDGER says that
more than s150,000 transactions in
real estate transfers have been made
In Mexico and the county within the
last few days. This is q magnific, Mt
and significant showing. Let Mexico
and the whole county boom.-Lad-
donia Herald.
Yes, Bro. Beal, she is bound to
boom. and can't he kept from it. Our
county has all the material necessary
for a boom. No bonded indebted
ness. consequently very low taxes.
The finest farming and stock county
in the State, undertake with an inex-
haustible amount of coal, fire clay,
&c. Populated with wide-awake,
get-up-and. git people. She can not
be kept down and the boom will be
sure to come. Let her boom.-van-

HIS POSITION.
Senator Ball interviewed on the Sub.
ieet OF Railroad Legislation.

Senator Bali interviewed on the Sub.
ieet Of Railroad Legislation.
Senator Ball was seen by a report
er yesterday and interviewed con-
corning his position on the subject OF
railroad legislation. Mr.. Ball ssid:
II favored railroad bill No. 293;
my vote against it would have caused
its defeat. The house refused to
pass bill 293 and offered a substitute
in the nature of an amendment. This
amendment fixed a maximum rate so
low that the railroad commissioners
of the state, together with the com
mittee on railroads and internal i'm
provement, the chairman of said CON-
mittee being Senator Harmon of
johnson county, said that if the bill
became a law there was not a railroad
in the state that could do business
under the provision of that bill /; the
bill also provided for the appointment
Of two (extra) railroad commission
ers, and that they should be selected
from the opposite Cor Republican,
party. When the bill came into the
Senate there were but three things
for the Senate to do, viz: Agree to
amendments Or reject them, or offer
amendments to House amendments.
Here I offered an amendment to the
House amendment and made a speech
against the House amendment and in
favor of the bill or amendment offer
ed by myself. I said that I did this
because l believed it was the only
way to get any railroad legislation.
This substitute bad been, prepared
by myself and H. L. Gray prior to
the passage of bill No. 293 through
the Senate. After talking with Ser
ator Harmon, I concluded not to Of
fer his substitute, unless the House
refused to pass bill No. 1913. There
was not a Democrat in the Senate
that would have voted for the House
amendment. The only difference be-
tween the Democratic Senators was
the question of what to do-whether
to reject and get no railroad legisla-
ton, or amend rs I attempted to and
probably get the House to agree to
it."
"Did you vote on the substitute to
the House amendments concerning
railroad legislation" the reporter
asked.
SIT did not come to a vote, for the
reason that a motion had been made
for the Senate to go into a commit
tee of the whole to consider the sp.
preparation bill. l did not vote on
this motion because I was not pres
ent when the vote was taken 4; but if
l had been present l would have
voted to have gone into a committee
of the whole, for the reason that the
appropriation bill had to be passed.
If the bill had not been passed an
extra session would have been an alb
solute necessity, and they had but
one day to consider it in, and that
was Saturday,

The business houses a not be

Large manufacturing interests.
Fine flour, cigars, baking powder,
wagons, buggies, washing machines,
dressed lumber and other manufac-
tured goods are turned out in large

Numbered houses. All the houses

venience TO strangers.
4 fine park. Hardin Park, doua

din, is a beautiful tract of land front
ing on four streets, the main from
and entrance being from Clark Ave
Hardin College, founded by ex'
Gov. G. Ell. Hardin, one of the besi
known and largest female colleges il
tn West.
An elegant City Hall, built a yea
ago, located at the corner of Jeffer.

at any time of day from five different
directions. Eighteen trains roll into
the Union Depot here daily.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1887-03-31
Railroad Legislation.

The st. Louis Republican in speak
ing Of railroad Legislation makes the
following very sensible remark :
"Missoun is surrounded by the three
Republican states of Illinois. Iowa
and Kansas, in all of which q state
RAILROAD commission has been given
authority to prevent discrimination.
Neitscr the people nor The railroads
have auy complaint to make under the
~system"
Well said. Some seem 10 think
that II the defeated railroad bill had
become IL law it would have discoura-
ged railroad building in tho State.
But such is not the case. Kansas,
with a similar law, built last year over
1,500 miles of road, and Missouri,
with 40 such law, built 165 miles.
No further ars ument is necessary.
The railroad lobby seems to have the
people by the throat. Having Undue
ed many members to oppose railroad
legislation by means which the lobby
know well how to use and TO put
where it will do the most good, they
ran over the country and induced
everf man who received rebates or
otber favors from the railroad to make
himself active in inducing people to
sign retitions and send dispatches to
the nembers demonstrating against
the passage OF the railroad bills,
these giving men an excuse for voting
rs they had been induced to agree to
give their voice, though they well
knew this was in opposition TO the
lntercsts and wishes of nine-tenths of
their constituents.
